CRAZY!!!!! My head was turning left and right the ending 30 pages or so! Reveal after reveal! I liked all the characters, the setting was interesting and nothing I have read about before, the politics, the backstory everything just fits! Im ordering the second one like right now, im not kidding I need to keep reading!

Kiva Meridan the woman you are!
*4.5 because it took a bit to get into, i wasnt rushing home to read you know (during the beginning of the book) *

Sexual assault is talked about but not explicitly or in detail and mostly regarding minor characters.

This is written definitely in a younger YA style than I typically enjoy. The narrative frequently gets redundant from over-explaining, and basically anytime something is shown, it’s then immediately told as well. Although a lot of the subject matter is definitely mature, the audience is definitely more of a mid-teenage group, and is really successfully written for that target audience. 

Still, I came to really fall in love with the characters and Noni did a really good job of introducing lots of different mysteries/questions as the narrative went on, even if most of the answers were obvious to me as an adult reader.

Ugh I kind of hated the end, the author just dropped major character twists at the end. I suppose I don’t like the unreliable narrator thing. Feels like important information was deliberately withheld from the reader. Also elements seem to rip of ACOTR

I was into it...but then I got bored in the middle 🫣 I almost DNF this at 47% -  thank you to my sister for telling me to push through because the last 25% 😮🙌🏻

oh and that last line...

"The Rebel Princess was finally ready to rise." YAAAAASS 👌🏻 I also guessed Tilda was her mom early on and kinda suspected she had healing abilities but her never using them or alluding to them the entire time had me second guessing myself. I also thought Jaren was like a royal cousin or something, so him being the prince was a cool twist. I would have been soooo PO if Tipp died though, I was ready to throw hands!!
